I'm programmed to run late. It's in my genes. I think my family actually has a time zone of our own. People know that if they want me to be there by 7:00, they should probably tell me 6:30... let's make that 6:00 just to be safe.

The Naked Commuter? Of course not! That would be ridiculous. Since I have to commute to work, and I have to get dressed to go there everyday, I've gotten pretty comfortable talking about both... so why not write about it?

I started following a number of fashion blogs over the past couple of months and I’ve been so inspired to wear my things in some new and adventurous ways, but working downtown in a building with other state workers can really put a crimp in the creativity. I often feel like taking real fashion risks can be difficult with the commuter lifestyle and can clash with the state worker mentality.

This blog will be my attempt to document my lifestyle as a commuting state worker while trying desperately to not get stuck in the rut of the dress shirt, black slacks and white sneakers.

About Me

After working for the State for over five years, I noticed that I'd let my style take a turn for the boring. While I'm no longer a state worker, I'm determined to not let myself slip back in to the predictable desk-jockey uniform.
